HS FOOT: Birmingham DL commits to Fresno State

Malik Jackson, one half of Birmingham's twin-terror defensive end tandem, has committed to a Fresno State football scholarship.

Now we'll see if brother Marquis will follow his twin.

Birmingham RB Milton Knox, the City's all-time leading rusher who has committed to UCLA, thinks it's a good idea.

:Malik is a real good player, and so is Marquis, so hopefully Fresno State can two for the price of one," Knox said. "That would be even better. Most likely, they'll offer Marquis, too.
